I wanna go to bed but lying down makes me cough all the more and my head ponud and my ears whoosh
I'm not a happy bunnny

[nethunsreject]

Aw, Trinity.



there, there.

[TrinityIsAShreddingFatRhino]

thankyou reject

[nethunsreject]

Ach, it is miserable being poorly.

Can your dp tend to you? Have you got any good meds?

[TrinityIsAShreddingFatRhino]

you think that finally the kids are old enough not to be up a million times a night and that when you choose to go to bed you can and THEN you get a stnking cold and cant

also I felt crap last night too and gecko was up three times with night terrors

[nethunsreject]

Now all you need to do is wait till they are old enough to look after you.

[TrinityIsAShreddingFatRhino]

got no good med, I have some paracetemol with caffeinie but I have had a couple of vodka and lemonades hoping I might feel better so maybe I should take them

dp has gone to bed about an hpur ago, he is on day three of antibiotics for achest infection and he had to go to work this morning (5.45 am to skin a sheep every 7 secs till 2pm with one 10 min break....)

[TrinityIsAShreddingFatRhino]

maybe I shouldn't take them I meant

[nethunsreject]

Well, hope you are both better soon. SOunds rotten.

I'd take the paracetamol personally!

[TrinityIsAShreddingFatRhino]

hmm I might do in a bit, I'm drinking lots of water right now and I;ve just had something totally tasteless to eat

[TrinityIsAShreddingFatRhino]

If you don't have any cough syrup .... peel and slice an onion, then rebuild it slice on slice in a small bowl, sprinkling brown sugar over each slice before adding the next one. In an hour or two it will have produced a syrup which is pretty good for coughs. Better than nothing, and most people will have an onion and some sugar in the house, or a neighbour will. (White sugar will do, but brown is better)

Then ask someone to go out in the morning and get you some Pholcodeine. It's great stuff, much better and cheaper than any of the branded ones, you have to ask the pharmacist for it as it is kept behind the counter.

[TrinityIsAShreddingFatRhino]

thankyou patricia

[katvond]

That's what I had pholocodine works a treat.
Now this will sound total nuts but believe me it works. If you have any vicks rub it on your feet then put some socks on, mad I know but worked.

[NorksAreMessy]

Poor Trinity...do you blame the shred..is that what caused the sickness, too much exercise?
No medicines? hang your head over a bowl of boiling water with some menthol oil / dried herbs/ vick in it
Aah, the poor Trinity, ah, the poor Trinity.
< presses cool flannel to Trinity's forehead>

[Punkatheart]

I always use methol chrystals - get someone to get you some from the chemist. Put 'em in hot water and steam your nose under a towel.

Until then, accept a big aaaaaaargh poor you from me.

[Punkatheart]

...the word is menthol..

[PinkSchmoo]

Only person in my house who doesn't have cold is DH. Snots on my legs from DD (2.2) and boobs from DS (4weeks).
DH is not offering any sympathy.

[katvond]
